Round 3 of the 2026 season is already upon us! With the season nearly halfway over, we've got our work cut out for us this round. Even with Gingerman being one of our favorite rounds, it has always been one of the toughest.
Last year, we faced down Eric Magnussen in his V8-powered M3 and came up short. The V8's power was a bit too much for Kutil in this K24-powered Civic. Getting motor'd down the back straight is never fun, and even though we're always fast through the technical sections, there is indeed no replacement for displacement.
The adjusted 2026 rules help us a bit, meaning the LS power has been reduced, not to mention their overall tire width. With that said, we're coming off four straight wins, which means we will now carry about 200lbs extra.
Will it affect our performance? Definitely. Are we still going to push as hard as we can? No doubt. The heavy braking zones and usual high temps create another challenge for all drivers, so our Carbotech pads and DC2R ABS system will help keep our Falken RT660+ tires on the sticky side of the track.
